Were there four people together in the first row ?? if yes I was right behind you

We were one row from the top, at one point there was a little boy with pink hair and a woman down in front of us, they were cheering for Dale Creasy

This is the block Terry Haddock hit yesterday in qualifying. I got him to "sign" it today, he had to print his name as he broke his wrist when he hit the wall.

I liked the racing, but what's the problem with getting the stands filled. I just don't understand why people aren't coming to the track

You have to ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE! No one seems to do this anymore. You can't expect to be lazy and rely on "social media" to somehow get the word out about your races. It won't work. NHRA has a hard enough time getting people to their races much of the time, for the same reason, and NHRA has been around for quite a while, as we know. No one but us has heard of the "new" IHRA. If they want the general public - or even drag racing fans who would attend an NHRA race - to give them a try, they have got to reach out. This IHRA guy supposedly has so much money, why doesn't he buy some billboard or radio ads for a month prior to each of his races? We may forget how much advertising there was for drag races back in the "good old days". Those big crowds in the 1960's and 1970's didn't materialize on their own. The fans had to read and hear about all those races in the drag rags, newspapers, and am radio.
